Elijah
Faith and Fire

by Priscilla Shirer

Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire.

Join Priscilla Shirer on this 7-part journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now.

On alternate weeks we will be viewing Melissa Spoelstra’s complementary study on Elijah- Spiritual Stamina in Every Season.  At times, life can feel like a roller coaster. One day everything is good, and the next it can feel like everything is falling apart. How can we walk with God through the many peaks and valleys of life?

In this study of 1 and 2 Kings, explore the story of Elijah—an ordinary man who did extraordinary things for God. Learn how God can use the highs and lows of life for His glory, and discover the spiritual stamina He provides to see you through every step.

THURSDAY STUDY- STARTS JANUARY 28

ISAIAH

Often named the fifth gospel, the book of the prophet Isaiah has more to say about Israel’s coming Messiah than any other Old Testament book. Brilliant, courageous, uncompromising, this prophet declared that the year of the LORD had come and God’s people needed to either step up, or stand down. Indeed, when Isaiah spoke, kings trembled.

But too often, when Isaiah speaks today, God’s people have trouble hearing. Why? We often miss the larger context. In The Epic of Eden: Isaiah, Dr. Sandra Richter takes participants back to the eighth century BCE. This ten-week study explains Israel’s religion and economy, explores the definition and role of the prophets, and helps us to apply the message of this great champion of the faith to our lives today.

How does this series work? The study involves two components. The first is a set of ten filmed, approximately 20-30 minute sessions with Dr. Sandra Richter and the second is a study guide for each of your group members. This workbook includes five individual studies per week, to be done at home. The idea is that each member will be working at home at their own pace, doing as much or as little as schedules permit and watch the video. Then once per week your group will gather to discuss the video, talk about the individual work from the week, and focus on some group discussion questions. Let the adventure begin!
